Chapter 474

Jace spoke slowly, his eyes growing more resolute with each word. He thought back to Julie from years ago, her smile warm and radiant. She had been his protector, his light in the darkest times. Without her, he wouldn’t have survived this long, even if his life was now nearing its end. Being by her side, even now, was his greatest comfort.

When Pharaoh heard Jace’s words, he froze for a moment. After a heavy silence, he murmured, “Don’t forget, I’m the one who turned you into a medicine man.”

The one who created the problem could also solve it. Pharaoh had the power to reverse what he’d done, to give Jace a chance at a normal life. The experiments he once believed in had only brought madness. Now, all he cared about was his child.

“Really?” Jace’s eyes lit up with hope and excitement.

When he’d left before, he knew his time was running out. He didn’t want Norah, who saw him as a friend, to grieve for him. But when Kevin called, saying Norah was in danger, Jace had rushed back without hesitation. Seeing her suffer under Calvin’s experiments had shattered him. He couldn’t leave her again.

Now, Pharaoh was offering him a way out—a chance to be normal again. It was everything Jace had dreamed of.
